[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, get your child evaluated ASAP. If DC diagnosed with anxiety or any other issues, then request DCPS issues an IEP with clear goals and accommodations.

I personally would NOT go to a charter, let alone a Montessori school. Charters are not required to provide the same level of accommodations DCPS can give you. Plus, Montessori is based on giving kids independence and autonomy which can be bewildering to anxious child looking for some clear, gentle structure. Just my 2 cents.[/quote]

Charters are public schools. They are REQUIRED to follow IDEA just as public schools are.  [/quote]

That's right. Each charter is its own LEA. OP, be sure to ask any schools you are considering about reading intervention staff and services which may be available to kids with or without IEP. Also see if you can get your child evaluated for speech. When a child says words wrong because that have trouble pronouncing certain sounds, then it can hard for a kid to make sense of the letters and sounds that make up certain words.[/quote]
